Praey for the Gods features many types of collectibles, each with dedicated achievements (except for equipment), but the game offers little-to-none tools to track collectibles. This makes it difficult to get all of them and (in most cases) forces players to visit the entire game world multiple times, a process that can be slow and frustrating.

For this reason, I decided to devote a few playthroughs to tracking down all the collectibles in the game, and then create this guide to help you find them all. In addition, in case you have already found some collectibles, I will also explain how to check which ones you are missing. I hope this effort will be useful for both current and future players.

There is no particular requirement for collectibles, except for one or two whose details will be provided at the appropriate time. However, I highly recommend the following to make the search easier/faster:

• playing Story mode or Boost mode, on Easy difficulty;
  
• upgrading the sail cloth to the max rank;
  
• having a high level of stamina.

The game has an auto-save system but it only occurs on certain occasions, so it is a good habit to save manually after picking up any collectible because, if you lose in the meantime, you will have to pick it up again.

I also report an important detail about caves. When you enter a cave, the cursor on the world map stops following the player's movements (so it remains "stuck" at the entrance), then the cursor resumes updating as soon as you exit. This behavior makes it impossible to precisely monitor the player's movements inside the caves, which could create confusion in determining the actual position of some collectibles (e.g. in the large hub cave in the center of the South Island). In this regard, for collectibles inside caves with multiple entrances, I provided some additional details to help you find your bearings.

Finally, a notice about totems. To check for the missing ones, my suggested method requires parsing the save file through some Powershell commands: the application I used for the guide is Windows Terminal (preinstalled on most modern computers), but any terminal capable of starting a Powershell session will do.

Each type of collectible requires a different method to check for missing entries. In the following paragraphs I explain all the methods, type by type.


Totems

---

Totems are the most difficult collectibles to track, because the only information available in-game is the total number of totems collected (in the "Stats" section of the pause menu). The only way to find out which totems you're missing is to pull the list of totems directly from the save file, so here is how to do it by using the Windows Terminal app and some Powershell commands:

1. Go to the save file location, then copy the save file to a new folder (anywhere on your PC). This way, your original save file will be safe in case you screw things up while checking the list of totems. On Windows, you can copy-paste the following shortcut into the address bar of File Explorer and press Enter to open the folder very quickly:
   
   %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\No Matter Studios\Praey For the Gods\
   
   
2. Open Windows Terminal in the folder containing the (copied) save file, and start a Powershell session. You can do this in multiple ways, but the easiest is to type "powershell" in the address bar of File Explorer and press Enter.
   
   
3. Copy-paste the following commands in the terminal and execute them by pressing Enter, one by one:
   
   $savefile = Get-Content -Path .\'FILENAME.sav' $totems = $savefile | Select-String -Pattern 'Totem\d\d","value":(true|false)' -AllMatches $totems = $totems.Matches.Value.Replace('","value":', ': ') $result = $totems For ($i = 1; $i -le 9; $i++) { if (!($totems -like "*Totem0$($i):*")) { $result += "Totem0$($i): false" } } For ($i = 10; $i -le 60; $i++) { if (!($totems -like "*Totem$($i):*")) { $result += "Totem$($i): false" } } $result | Sort-Object | Out-File -FilePath .\'totems.txt' -Encoding ASCII # optional: show result in terminal Get-Content -Path .\'totems.txt'
   Please note that FILENAME is the name of your save file, so you must edit the command and use the correct name (it should be something like "Manual SaveX.sav" or "Automatic SaveX.sav", with "X" being a number).

If done correctly, a list of key/value pairs will be saved to a new "totems.txt" file in the same folder (the last command is optional, it just shows the file content in the terminal). Each pair looks like "TotemX: VALUE", with "X" and "VALUE" being (respectively) the totem number and its value: pairs with a "true" value represent the collected totems, while pairs with a "false" value represent the missing totems. For example, if you get a pair like "Totem04: false", it means that you're still missing the totem.

For the sake of completeness, I point out that an alternative method consists of opening the save file with a text editor and consulting the totem entries manually, but this is a much longer and more cumbersome process, therefore I recommend sticking to the method I explained above.


Notes

---

Lore notes are divided into three groups: (1) Gorm's letters, (2) lost journal, and (3) notes of the Fallen. The "map" tab of the inventory clearly shows the collected notes, also allowing you to read them again. For the purpose of this guide, the notes in each group have been numbered from left to right and top to bottom.


Maps

---

There are two types of maps: island maps and treasure maps. Specifically:

• Island maps appear in the form of a large red glyph, painted on a rock or wall. They make a portion of the world map visible (which otherwise remains hidden).
  
• Treasure maps reveal the location of equipment (which usually matches a cave). When you get a treasure map, a red mark is added to the world map, and the mark turns black after getting the corresponding piece of equipment.

Consequently, a quick look at the world map in the inventory allows you to immediately check which maps are missing.


Equipment

---

Equipment comes in various forms: torsos, gloves, boots, weapons, and a grappling hook. Specifically:

• There are 3 outfits to collect (3 pieces per outfit), and their location is revealed by treasure maps.
  
• The "soul" weapons and grappling hook are dropped by champions, after defeating them. They are located at 3 specific places, not revealed by maps but quite easy to recognize on the world map. Considering that champions respawn periodically, it is possible to get multiple soul gears.
  
• Finally, the Elite axe is a special weapon whose location is secret. Common items respawn periodically in the game, but I don't know if this weapon behaves the same because I haven't visited its secret location since collecting it.

To check for missing equipment, simply refer to the inventory.

The image below shows the entire world map, with numbered labels at specific locations.



Labeled locations represent points of interest where collectibles are located, and in the next sections of the guide I will refer to these points of interest by the term "zones": white labels represent outdoor zones, while yellow labels represent indoor zones (in short, caves). Some yellow zones are connected and share the same number because they represent entrances to the same cave. Such a zone system should allow you to identify all collectibles on the map, namely by checking (1) all the collectibles in each zone, or (2) the specific zone of each collectible.

Thank you for reading this far, I really appreciate it!
